The New Badedas

£48 – not cheap, I know

If you’re starting to get worried about Christmas presents then quite right you bloody should be.

May I make a start by recommending this? It is called Olverum, some of you will know about it already, it is a bath oil with a really seriously modern and delightful scent, sort of like a new and refined Badedas. One for the MIL.

This is not the place to describe what I would like to give my m-in-law …

Amusingly I bought myself some Badedas recently having not thought about it for, oooh, twenty years? And it’s still really nice too. I tend to keep proper bath oil for use in hotel bathtubs so I don’t have to scrub the slick out; this means my bath-oil consumption is probably 1.25 bottles per lifetime … I’m only halfway through the first bottle at 43 (husband, please note retirement goals!)
